Pet King 1714 C1713–reversing the future

Zhang Zian was pushed from behind. He staggered and fell into the dangerous and strange Whirlpool. He instinctively covered his head and face, closed his eyes, and all the hair on his body stood up. He was ready to face the incoming impact.

Countless possibilities flashed through his mind. No matter if the vortex was cold or hot, hard or soft, even if it seemed as soft as water but was actually as sharp as a blade, he thought of it all.

However, he did not touch anything.

He easily passed through the vortex, as if it was just an invisible illusion.

After a false alarm, he had just regained his footing and opened his eyes again, only to see an even more unbelievable scene.

It was difficult to describe what he saw in any language. Everything around him was distorted and gray. He was in the Pet Shop, but he could see both the inside and outside of the Pet Shop at the same time.

It didn't mean that the wall didn't exist, or that the wall had become transparent, and the wall was still the wall. However, he could see everything outside the shop through the wall, and he could also see the inside of the wall, the inside of the wall bricks, the inside of the cement that stuck the wall bricks together …

All the details of the Pet Shop appeared in front of his eyes. There were no secrets that could be hidden. It was as if he had countless eyes and could observe the Pet Shop from all possible angles at the same time. He even saw that the silver ring that his mother had lost was actually stuck in the gap of the closet drawer. He also saw an envelope taped at the bottom of the drawer. Through the envelope, he saw that there were several banknotes of different amounts in the envelope. That might be the money his father had hidden to buy wine.

Not only the Pet Shop, but everything on the street outside was the same. As long as he could see, he could observe everything from all angles.

This was probably equivalent to a person being able to see the whole picture of an A4 paper at a glance.

For some reason, the edges of these fixed objects were very blurry … Not exactly blurry, but they could be seen very clearly. They were like the afterimages left behind by a hummingbird flapping its wings at high speed.

There were people on the streets, of course, even though there were only a few pedestrians who had gotten up early.

The appearance of humans was even stranger. Everyone looked like the Guanyin with a thousand hands and eyes … No, it was even more so. It should be a thousand hands, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet, a thousand legs, a thousand heads, a thousand mouths … The word “thousand” was far from enough to describe their number.

If someone with a weak will saw this strange world, they would probably faint on the spot.

He looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in a daze and muttered in English,”“Tesseract……”

“That's right, it's tesserct. “

He turned around and saw that the girl was already standing quietly behind him. She said with a smile,””The first time I came across this word was when I was watching 'interstellar' with my dad. That was also my enlightenment on the fifth dimension. Later, I watched it three times before I could barely understand the content of the movie. Other children my age are still interested in the version of 'Pleasant Goat and big big big wolf'.”

Zhang Zian was stunned for a moment. Was Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf a remake? He really didn't know.

In the gray background, only the two of them maintained their original color.

The word “tesserct” was a key factor in understanding the movie “interstellar.” Without an accurate Chinese translation, it would usually be translated as “hypercube,” but this wasn't very accurate. If it had to be translated, it should be “the expansion of a three-dimensional cube in a four-dimensional space.” If the “time” axis was included, then there would be an additional dimension.

He was in the Pet Shop, and at the same time, he was in the lounge chair. At the same time, he was in every fiber of the lounge chair, and he could see everything inside and out at the same time. Why was that?

Just like Schrodinger's cat in the black box in the quantum superposition state of life and death, what he saw now was the superposition state of infinite space. The space was superimposed, wood fiber, lounge chair, pet shop, Street … All of them were superimposed and lost their fixed boundary, so he could see through it at a glance.

She heaved a sigh of relief.”It's a good thing you understand. Otherwise, it would be so troublesome to explain.”

He was suddenly enlightened, and when he looked at his surroundings again, he no longer felt that it was strange. Instead, he was filled with curiosity and excitement, as well as infinite admiration, because this was definitely not something that ordinary people could see in their lifetime.

The thousand hands and thousand eyes that humans displayed in this fifth-dimensional space-time was actually a trajectory map of a person's life. Everyone's long life was reflected in this long trajectory, and the people seen in the normal four-dimensional space-time were just a projection of this trajectory at a certain moment.

In mathematical terms, the fifth dimension was the collection of all the fourth dimensions, and the fourth dimension was just an element in the fifth dimension.

As for the blurry shadows of fixed objects, it was because no object would exist forever. The recliner would fall apart one day, and the Pet Shop would be demolished one day. Those shadows were the entire evolution process of their existence to nothingness.

Most people who had watched “interstellar” would be puzzled by the fact that the male protagonist could enter the inner part of the bookshelf after passing through a wormhole and see the life of his daughter from childhood to adulthood. The audience who did not have a clear understanding of the plot only thought that it was a montachi technique in the film, but they did not understand the exquisite design within.

Of course, this was indeed the expression of the film. On the premise of not losing the core of science, it took into account the artistic and aesthetic feeling. Otherwise, the audience would probably wet their pants in the cinema when they saw the daughter with thousands of hands and eyes. That was much more terrifying than any horror film.

He looked at the bug in her palm.”We're … In a wormhole?”

“Yes, I am.” She nodded.

He looked around again and remembered the question about free will and determinism that Zhuang Xiaodie asked him to ask, but there was no need to ask this question anymore. Everyone's life was shown on every trajectory map, from birth to death, from the cradle to the grave. What else was there to ask?

Of course, because he had entered the fifth dimension, he could not see himself in the fourth dimension. He could not see his own fate, just like how fortune-tellers never read their own fate, nor could they accurately predict their own fate.

If it was a wormhole, he could vaguely guess how she would help him.

“Come on.”

She held one of his hands and took a step towards the angle where the insect's head was raised.

With just one step, he went from the first floor of the Pet Shop to the corridor on the second floor.

He stared at the bug. Human beings could only perceive the three-dimensional space, and there was no organ that could perceive the four-dimensional space. Due to the infinite superposition of space, ordinary people would get lost even if they accidentally entered the four-dimensional space, and she was no exception. This bug was obviously her guide, and it could find the right direction in the chaotic four-dimensional space.

“You should know what to do next, right?” She said.

In the corridor on the second floor, there was also a translucent vortex floating.

“If I go over, wouldn't there be two of me at the same time?” He asked.

She smiled.”Who says I'm not?”

“Then, about the conservation of energy and the like …”

It seemed as if someone in the dark snorted coldly.”Blockhead idiot!”

He was cold all over … Why did it sound like Zhuang Xiaodie's voice?

She squinted her eyes and said,””The laws of conservation of energy and the uncertainties of quantum mechanics will not be overturned in the future. They will only be limited to the scope of application, which is the three-dimensional space. They will not be applicable in the four-dimensional space, just like the scope of Newton's mechanics being limited to the macro scale, so you don't have to worry.”

Zhang Zian didn't have time to think about it, so he could only accept this explanation. He pointed to the vortex and said,””You're coming too?”

“No, I can't go.” She smiled and said,”I'll wait here for you to come back. Go on.”

“Alright …”

He closed his eyes and braced himself as he walked towards the vortex.

BOOM!

The sound of thunder made him open his eyes instinctively.

The surroundings were very dark, and the Thunder was almost exploding above their heads. The strong wind whistled outside, and the closed windows were clattering.

“Master, do you have Mahjong here? Since I'm bored, why don't we play a few games?”

Li Kun's voice came from downstairs. It was mixed with the sound of thunder and seemed very vague.

Zhang Zian turned around and saw the translucent vortex behind him.

A faint light came from the half-closed bedroom door. The only light source on the second floor came from the desk in the bedroom. There was a half-lit candle standing there, flickering in the light of the breeze blowing in through the window gap.

Pi sat at the desk with its back to the bedroom door. It clicked on the screen of the laptop with the mouse in its hand and was busy saving the unfinished documents on the hard disk.

This laptop was quite old and didn't run as smoothly as the new computers. In addition, the power was cut off and it automatically switched to power-saving and frequency-lowering mode, so its reaction was slower.

His phone was placed beside his laptop.

Since the “pet Hunter” game was running on his phone, he knew the importance of his phone. He never left his phone with him when he was outside. Even when he was taking a bath, he would put his phone in several layers of waterproof bags and bring it to the bathroom.

He was very careful even at home, but didn't Pi need to share the hot spot for a short time?

That's right, the internet was cut off at that time. He switched on the hotspot on his phone and shared it with his laptop, then left his phone on the second floor and went downstairs himself.

So now, there was another him on the first floor, being pestered by Wang Qian and Li Kun for mahjong tiles, and little celery was doing her homework at the cashier.

This was what had happened yesterday, and he still remembered it clearly.

He already knew what he was going to do, so he pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom.

Pi didn't look back. It knew it was Zhang Zian from the sound of his footsteps, and it knew that Zhang Zian was busy dealing with the typhoon.

Looking at Pi's back, his eyes were sore. He wanted to rush over and hug it several times, but he resisted the urge.

Sihwa's gibberish and noise came from the bathroom. She claimed that she wanted to open the eyes of the netizens and broadcast the typhoon live for them to see. However, it seemed that she had encountered a network problem. The sound and image of the live broadcast began to be intermittent, which made her very annoyed.

Vladimir had already left the Pet Shop to help the stray cats, and the other Elfins were waiting downstairs for the upcoming Typhoon.

Everything that was so familiar to him almost made him cry.

He really wanted to rush downstairs and tell the elves what was going to happen, but he couldn't do that because history didn't happen like that. History was unique, and tampering with history would cause a space-time paradox. The consequences would be unimaginable.

He forced himself to calm down and steady his breathing.

He couldn't waste any time. After the other him found out that Vladimir wasn't there, he would quickly come up to the second floor to look for it, so he had to finish what he had to do as soon as possible and then leave.

He walked to the desk and picked up his old phone.

Pi turned its head and glanced at him, then continued to stare at the laptop screen.

The room was very dark. The only emergency light was placed on the cashier counter downstairs for little celery to do her homework. The storm outside was as loud as a helicopter landing. Pi didn't notice anything wrong with him. He was still the same person. The same voice, the same smell, the same clothes, and the same face. The only difference might be the expression, but it was perfectly covered by the darkness.

On the screen of the original phone, there was an icon of the pet Hunter app.

He suppressed his excitement and took out his phone. This phone had been charged for a while, and under the effect of Quick Charge, it was charged to 63%, which was exactly the same as the original phone. Both phones were at 63%.

He turned on the hotspot on his original phone and held it in his hand. He turned on the hotspot on his mobile phone and put it back next to the laptop.

Pi didn't even turn its head this time. It had its own things to do. It picked up its phone and looked at it. What was there to be surprised about? It was his phone to begin with.

The other him downstairs seemed to have realized that something was missing in the store. He was looking around, no longer paying attention to Wang Qian and Li Kun's invitation to play mahjong. He quickly realized that Vladimir was missing and would come to the second floor in a while.

Zhang Zian listened to Sihwa's noise and looked at Pi's back. His lips moved, and he said silently,””I will find you guys, I promise.”

He walked out of the bedroom, holding his important phone in his hand.

After he finished reading the notification from the game, he did not cross it out. He could see it by pulling down the notification bar.

The next morning, when the other him found that the elves were missing, he would take out his mobile phone from under his pillow and see the notice. He would be so angry that he would tremble and fall into unimaginable despair. Galaxy, who had been lost and found, would bring him a glimmer of hope. Then, little white would visit the Pet Shop, and Wang Qian and Li Kun would come to work and comfort him. Finally, he would meet a mysterious girl with a worm and lead him on a wonderful journey back to the past.

And he would return to the future with this phone that was still running the pet Hunter game.

It was a closed cycle.

Whether it was the him today or the him tomorrow, he was the same.

He had not changed anything, just like the male lead in “interstellar” had not changed anything. History was destined to run this way. He and he were only guided by the will from the future to realize their own destiny.
